Featured Book: Teens and Time Management by Leslie Josel

Time management is
a challenge for everyone, but it is a particularly daunting challenge for
teens. More than 70% of teens in the US struggle with time management and the
numbers are growing. Teens are busier than ever and they lack the necessary
tools to manage their time.

Nationally
recognized time management expert, Leslie Josel, in her new book, What’s the Deal with Teens and Time
Management, takes parents step-by-step through the basics of teaching teens
the time management skills they need to succeed-at school, at work and in life.
Says Josel, “Time management is a skill
that doesn’t come naturally to everyone-but it can be learned.This guide opens the door to the world of
time management, what it really means, why it is important and why teens
probably don’t ‘get it’.”

This is a
user-friendly guide full of best practice solutions for helping teens stay on
top of their homework, avoid procrastination traps, get out the door in the
morning with minimal conflict and manage the use of their electronics.
“Throughout the book I offer up my ‘Triple Ts’ – my tried and true Tips, Tools
and Techniques- to provide support and guidance for parents looking to help
their teens understand, develop and implement time management skills.”

In this book,
parents will learn the FIVE mindsets
needed to start their teen on the journey of time management awareness; how to
create a “Personal Homework Profile”
to better understand how their teen tackles homework; how to help their teen
create a time sense and develop “future awareness”; what FOMO is and how to
manage it at home; how to kick procrastination to the curb; and so much more!
